Letter to C. Hanson, 10 May 1882
Salt Lake City, . Brother C. Hanson. Your letter to President Taylor was handed to me to answer, and in reply I would say that I do not know who put your name down to go to Colorado, but it was some one in Colorado, who gave your name to Silas S. Smith, thinking that you could start a sawmill in that country, but, taking your age and circumstances into consideration, we feel to honorably release you from attempting to fill that mission. Your brother in the Gospel. W. Woodruff.
Letter to David Boice, 10 May 1882
Salt Lake City, . Mr. David Boice, Dear Brother—Your letter of April 4, was received in good time, but, through the multiplicity of business, it has not been answered before. Your letter to Silas S. Smith is also before me. In answer to your questions I would say that if you were to go by railroad you would take cars at Evanston and go to Denver, from there to Manassa, where you will land at your place of settlement. If you go with teams, you will go through North Bend, east of Sanpete, then over the moun- tains east to Castle Dale, on across Green and Grand Rivers, go by Parrott City on to Manassa, Colorado. We would like you to go as soon as you can sell and close up your business. Be careful about forming acquain- tances and familiarity with strangers while on your journey, for the whole country abounds with tramps and robbers, who will steal your money whenever they can. If you have money and take the railroad, you save time. If you go with teams, you are longer, but have your teams when you get there. So you must act according to circumstances. Your brother in the Gospel. W. Woodruff.
